Merge in Pop Train
I think the stub article Pop Train should be merged into the Water dumping / container deposit cashing fraud section. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 12:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

“Criticisms of SNAP” section contains subjective prose
The “Criticisms of SNAP” section directly asserts that SNAP’s “history with USDA and connection with bills and legislation makes it a political tool more than a benefit system of good-will.” This is pretty obviously a statement of opinion, and it is not attributed to anyone. Most of the section reads like this.

Criticism of SNAP is fine, but it should come from outside of Wikipedia. Also, reasons for the criticism should be given, and phenomena should not be described as “important”. Wham Bam Rock II (talk) 12:54, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Criticism
Criticism section doesn't actually contain any specific criticisms of SNAP, and the first sentence is not W:NPOV. 2600:8801:710E:7E00:F024:7D1F:5210:BD59 (talk) 23:13, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

In this article I think addressing more about the food insecurity and poverty side of SNAP would be beneficial for the readers. Addressing how SNAP has aided in food insecurity and food access could shed light on how the federal government has taken action to medicate this issue. The article needs to expand on the statistics and research that have looked at how many individuals in poverty are having the ability to become more food insecure when gaining SNAP as a tool.Avaellea (talk) 22:53, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Pop Train Section Citations
All citations of the “Pop Train Scheme” link to 404 and look to have been the same author/story. There is no evidence this was a real thing. This section should be removed. Not sure if I used the right tag, I’m new to this!Mpalley (talk) 13:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
